A ★★★★ review of Superman (2025) I really wanted to love it and be moved by it and have it be one for the ages, like Spider-Man 2 or something. As it was, I just really enjoyed it, instead of loving it. A lot of characters, even ones...

Seen it twice now, and liked it even more the second time.

Losing Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ozzy Osbourne in 24 hours is surreal. Such icons of my 80s childhood.

Materialists is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year. Maybe tied with Sinners as my favorite of 2025 so far.

The new Pope *says* he's from Chicago but he's probably from Highland Park.

From now on instead of getting baptized, people will get "dipped."

When he goes out in the Popemobile he's gonna leave a deck chair at the Vatican to hold his spot.

A ★★★★ review of Goodrich (2024) I was really touched by this film. One of the rare instances of a movie that doesn’t really have an antagonist, other than life and the way it can knock you out of complacency and make you do the work...

Anyone else watched “Goodrich”? I really enjoyed it.

I wonder how long it will be before The Miranda warning will be updated to say "if you cannot afford an attorney, an Artificial Intelligence attorney will be generated for you."

Or will Miranda Rights not be around by then?

Ethan's review of MCU 5/5: This book was like catnip for me. I grew up reading Marvel Comics, and loved the interconnected nature of the stories (Fantastic Four get sued? Matt Murdock is their lawyer). After decades of sup...

I couldn’t put this book down!

This is so shameful. This is erasure and it cannot stand.

Jeff Bezos reportedly interceded to oust Barbara Broccoli from James Bond franchise Jeff Bezos reportedly interceded to oust Barbara Broccoli from James Bond franchise

It will be funny to see Bezos get more grief for destroying the Bond franchise than he does for destroying the environment. Maybe not haha funny. But funny.

Home Run Inn To Close Bronzeville Pizzeria This Weekend The family-owned pizza chain is closing three of its nine locations Sunday.

We used to eat at the Berwyn and Melrose Park locations from time to time, but after several disturbing interactions with gamblers using the “gaming” machines at the Melrose Park location, we stopped. Families shouldn’t be subjected to the ugliness of gambling at a family-style restaurant.

A ★★★½ review of The Accountant (2016) Finally got around to this one. I had heard good things but it exceeded my expectations. Lots of Hollywood silliness, but the storyline and characters were original and the action scenes were extremel...

The numbers added up nicely with this one.

So long, Kindle.

A ★★½ review of The Monkey (2025) It’s supposed to be a horror comedy but there’s something oddly joyless about it. There’s no sense of camp or mischief, so the kills that are supposed to be funny are just low-level disturbing. There’...

This monkey didn't quite shine for me.

February 26th is the last day to download your Kindle books and convert them to a format that other devices can read. More info on Amazon’s policy here: 3/4 www.geeky-gadgets.com/amazon-kindl...

The recent announcement that Amazon is removing the option to download Kindle books directly to your computer helped me pull the trigger on purchasing a Kobo eReader. I've downloaded all my previous Kindle books and converted them to ePub format so I can read them on my new device. 2/4

I've been looking for ways to move my spending away from Amazon as much as possible. I've been doing this for the past few years, but even more so since our current administration took office. One of the few ways I've still been keyed into them is my Kindle eReader, and the Kindle bookstore. 1/4 🧵

Sharing this year's hand drawn Valentine's Day cards for my wife and daughter. DM if you'd like to commission a hand drawn card for a special someone for an upcoming special occasion.

We are living in one of the most challenging times in human history and this administration is dismantling our ability to meet these challenges. We cannot let this stand.

Tramell Tillman of ‘Severance’ Gives Himself a Performance Review His character, the smiling menace Mr. Milchick, has more responsibility in Season 2. He also has more of the spotlight.

We're obsessed with Severance, and Tillman as Milchick is a big part of that.

A ★★★★ review of Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Maybe the early lukewarm buzz lowered my expectations for this, but honestly enjoyed it. It delivered everything I wanted from an MCU flick and a Captain America flick. I've loved Mackie as Sam Wilson...

A return to form for the MCU!

…that matches your current name. Married women with their spouse’s last name, or trans folks who have changed their names will not be able to use their birth certificate to vote. Please consider filling out this simple form to tell your members of Congress to oppose SAVE:

The SAVE Act is the latest attempt by the current administration to suppress voting in our country. This proposed law would require specific documentation in order to vote, including a Passport (51% of Americans don’t have a passport), a Military ID with service records, or a birth certificate…1/3

We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests This is "We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests" by MediaTank on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

The ironic thing is that what Mackie said sounds like something both Steve Rodger’s and Sam Wilson have said in the comics for years. Although I doubt any of the keyboard warriors complaining about his answer have read a Captain America comic book.

'Captain America: Brave New World' Shows Disney Can't Escape the Culture Wars — The Hollywood Reporter While the studio desperately tries to avoid politics, the stars of the upcoming 'Captain America' movie and 'Spider-Man' TV show are making waves by just barely slipping off message.

It’s comical watching the mental gymnastics people are doing to take his very thoughtful and nuanced answer about how people from other countries can connect with Captain America out of context.

OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us OpenAI shocked that an AI company would train on someone else's data without permission or compensation.

Oh. This is rich. This makes me unreasonably happy.

A ★★★★ review of NYAD (2023) Outstanding film about a character who is equal parts inspiring and infuriating. Annette Benning gives a masterclass of a performance that captures the will, nuance, narcism, trauma, and vulnerability...

So glad we finally caught up with this picture.
